Great size, feature rich, great pre-amps - solid unit.
Really like the MixPre-3 II - perfect for my application; corporate videos with mics just outside frame. Like the small size, clear screen and great feature set. 32-bit float is neat but not relevant for my application. I would concur with Charles that
Read morethe SD card slot is goofy positioned behind the battery sled.

Solid performer, improves on its predecessor
Thrilled with the new features of timecode and 32-bit float. Performs as promised.
Some buttons could be repositioned to the front. And the SD card slot could be moved from behind the battery sled. Those are my only wishes for the next version.
5 solid
